Shop NowBrian Chin happens to be a really popular landlord. His Chinatown neighbors are hailing him as a “hero.” He’s also charged with “beating an armed vagrant.” Since police won’t do anything he did. Chin went totally Kung Fu, leaving the hobo “intubated” and unconscious in the hospital. “Brian is a great guy,” one Manhattan resident relates. “It’s like the wild west now.” He “wants our neighborhood to be clean.” They’re all asking the court for leniency.
Vigilant Chinatown landlord
Brian Chin is the sort of “vigilant” landlord who knows that crime cannot be allowed to have a foothold in the neighborhood. Police have been defunded and handcuffed by liberal Democrats into total uselessness.
All they can do is wander by, after the fact, to clean up the bodies. Crime has been virtually decriminalized, unless you decide to take the law into your own hands. That violates the union rules and prosecutors will throw the book at you.
Local citizens, including a fellow Manhattan, New York, landlord down Chrystie Street, are frustrated. Under progressive Mayor Eric Adams, “the area has devolved into a lawless cesspool because of the city’s soft-on-crime policies.”
This is SO sad.
I stand with Brian Chin. I ask for his release without criminal record because a criminal will never call the police to report a crime.
Brian Chin was not a criminal. Rather, he is a hero. He helped to prevent a potentially deadly crime. https://t.co/OzQmWqSv2f

Chin has a special interest in neighborhood safety. The 32-year-old apartment owner had one of his tenants murdered by a transient in 2022. Since then, he “passionately spoke out against crime.”
Chin has been charged with felony assault. His “attack” left the hobo with “serious injuries.” The cops don’t give the vigilante any sympathy. Most people would call what the landlord did self-defense.
The bum could have staggered along to somewhere else when kicked to get his attention. Instead, he came at Chin with part of a broken chair. A stick with a nail sticking out. Do that to a cop and they’ll shoot. They’re only jealous that Mr. Chin did their job for them.

A great guy
“Brian is a great guy,” the fellow landlord declares. “He’s like our local community activist, leader. He wants our neighborhood to be clean.” The local park and playground should be for kids, as intended. “Not open-air drug-dealing and homeless people sleeping on the benches.” The alleged assault happened Saturday, August 24. “And we’re deeply grateful for that.”
The vagrant had been harassing people then went to sleep on a sidewalk. Chin “kicked him three times.” That was just to wake him up. “The two men then got into it a few minutes later, with the homeless guy breaking a chair and allegedly swinging at Chin with a piece of it with a nail sticking out of it.” That’s when “Chin allegedly pushed the guy to the ground and repeatedly punched him in the head and apparently kicked him.”
“lefty City Council’s policies,” the source believes, “such as those aimed at springing jailed defendants early and making it harder for cops to stop and frisk suspects, are to blame for the quality-of-life mayhem.” Every landlord in the city was glad to hear Adams was bringing back the “Broken Windows” policy. Not allowing small crimes to spawn bigger ones. It didn’t stay in force long.

“Everything ‘Broken Windows‘ solved has been undone — it’s like the wild west now.” If police and prosecutors won’t enforce the laws, the citizens will do it themselves. “So now we have this whole circle of life where everything is self-sustaining and the police can’t do anything about it because all of this has been decriminalized.”
Insurance broker Shirley Wu “works above the Grand Street subway entrance where Saturday’s bashing took place.” It’s also “next-door to Chin’s building, where Christina Yuna Lee, 35, was fatally stabbed by vagrant Assamad Nash during a random sex attack and burglary two years ago.”
She sides with the vigilant landlord. “I don’t know what caused the attack, but if it was Brian, I can understand why he would be angry with the homeless after what happened to Christina.” Police just move the bums around. “Once in a while, the police or outreach come to take them to a shelter, but they’re always back the next day.“
